Tue, 11 Nov 2008 21:52:08 +0000 http://www.gobblin.net/?p=180#comment-1636 um... me and my cousin have a theory about that. they can't lie about the rules- they're off limits. Sarah did solve the riddle correctly, she just insulted Jareth as she walks through so he opens an oubliette under her. (Either that, or he's a sore loser) we have proof, because she does the same thing in the "nothing? nothing? nothing, tra-la-la?" scene. in both she says "This/It's -(respectively)- a piece of cake!", which he doesn't like, because he and his labyrinth are all so "high-and-mighty, ha-ha-ha-you-puny-mortals-are-no-match-for-it/me", and terrifying and whatever. and that's our theory. um… me and my cousin have a theory about that. they can’t lie about the rules- they’re off limits.

Tue, 11 Nov 2008 02:55:53 +0000 http://www.gobblin.net/?p=180#comment-1616 Oooooh, which riddle? You mean the doors? "And you must know that one of us always tells the truth and the other one always lies. That's a rule too. He always lies." Personally that scene in Labyrinth really annoys me. The reason being? They agree on everything up to that point and then turn around and say, "One of us lies, the other tells the truth. Always." So, assuming that one of them can't lie, the rules are legitimate. But since the "liar" agrees with the "honest one", that means it's a lie. But since it was a lie because the liar agrees with the honest one... Can you see where I'm going here? My solution? Both of them have the free-will to lie and tell the truth as they desire and they told Sarah that baloney about "the rules" because they were supposed to stall her. And guess what? It worked.

I especially enjoyed your "sound" market principal of buying up ALL of the Wampas and then selling them back to the public at a profit. Stupid eBay ruined it all for you! As always, great writing, very witty, especially for this fellow nerd. EFA Jake, this is the greatest story ever!
